Well, now that the bird has flown, I  would have split that curved log 90 degrees to what you did. It's far easier to deal with reflex and deflex than a huge curve to the side. At this point I would definitely cut billets from those curved staves.

Jim so I did originally want to split it that way but if you look where the pith is the growth rings were way off to one side and I wasn't sure if I could just split it in the middle of the log even though the center of the growth rings would have been further down.
